Generous support from the M.D. Anderson Foundation and the Law School brings a steady stream of visitors to Austin working in the areas of moral, political, and legal philosophy. A distinctive feature of the LPP is that visitors often spend several days in residence, presenting papers, holding office hours, and participating in special workshops exclusively for LPP faculty and students. Each year the LPP also hosts the Leon Green '15 Lecture in Jurisprudence. LPP visitors since 2001 include G.A. Cohen (Oxford), Jules Coleman (Yale), John Gardner (Oxford), Richard Holton (MIT), Nicola Lacey (LSE), Rae Langton (MIT), Timothy Macklem (London), Liam Murphy (NYU), Mark Murphy (Georgetown), Stephen Perry (Penn), Richard Posner (Chicago), Joseph Raz (Oxford & Columbia), Connie Rosati (Arizona), Michael Rosen (Harvard), Scott Shapiro (Michigan), Nicos Stavropoulos (Oxford), Hillel Steiner (Manchester), and Jonathan Wolff (London). Visitors for 2006-07 include Simon Keller (BU), Mathias Risse (Harvard), Gideon Rosen (Princeton), and Jeremy Waldron (NYU).
Students who have earned the JD or PhD elsewhere are welcome to apply to Texas for the remaining degree, where they can be full participants in the intellectual life of the LPP.
